Robert Turbin: Recovering From Hip Surgery

Turbin underwent offseason hip surgery, and his timeline for a return to the field is uncertain, FOX Sports reports.

Analysis:

If Turbin's recovery stretches into the regular season, it could open up some extra carries for Christine Michael. If both running backs are healthy, they'll likely split the work behind entrenched starter Marshawn Lynch, though it's possible one or the other emerges as the clear top backup. Turbin is entering the final season of his rookie contract, after rushing for 310 yards on 74 carries (4.2 YPC) in 2014.
